Rockstar Productions presents the ECORS race #4 for 2012 to be held at Devil's Playground August 24 and 25!!!
This has always been a favorite venue for everyone as it offers great rocks, hills, speed and pits that are less than 500 yards from any point in the race course! Spectators come out in force for most any event at DPG and ECORS is no exception!

This year we are doing something a little different. We have multiple radio stations that will be broadcasting advertisments on the radio up to 2 weeks prior to the event, so there will be a TON of spectators! We also have hundreds of flyers and posters that will be put up.
This race we are putting in place a qualifying event on Friday evening. Racers have wanted it in the past and what better time than now! We are advertising the qualifying event on the radio and will be giving door prizes away to spectators on Friday, so expect fans and spectators to be there to cheer you on. Put on a good show even if you have to run your police siren the entire lap!!! Everyone that signs up to race automatically qualifies for Saturday's race; Friday's qualifying is ONLY FOR STARTING POSITION!!! However, be sure you sign up early like usual as we have not done away with that part either! If you can't qualify due to a broken rig from pre-running, etc., not to worry, you will still be able to start the race Saturday however, you will be put in the back of the line behind everyone else!
For "Meet the Drivers", racers will be set up along the homestretch before the Finish line in close proximity to the spectators. Spectators can mingle with the racers and take a look at the rigs. Racers should dress in your gear or team apparel. Be friendly! If you have team swag to give away, this is a great time to do so! All racers are required to attend this. If your rig cannot attend due to in progress repairs, at least be there available in person to mingle with everyone. This is here for you to get more fans, show off your rig, promote and push your sponsors, get your picture taken, and sign autographs (ya never know...
).
Saturday's race schedule is just as it normally is and as posted above. There will be a day full of excitement. If for some reason you get bored (I know, it happens sometimes...), we'll have other activities for kids of all ages (even 56 year old kids...). We will have vendors of all type set up showing off their products and business services. We will have various "cool" vehicles and equipment there for kids to play on with representatives from each company there to talk about it and get the kids excited, etc. There will be UTV dealers there and even National Guard Humvees!
Each day we will have some cool toy prizes for the first 50 kids through the gate. And for the adults, we are going to have 10 door prize winners for ECORS, Snap ON, and other vendor products as well as 2 grand prize winners of $500 worth of Snap On tools and swag. Door prizes are only open to spectators and only 1 entry per person. The only catch is that you have to fill out one of our survey cards that does NOT ask for names, phone numbers, or emails. So, no worries that you'll be getting SPAM mail or harrassed by telemarketers.
Don't worry about bringing food or drinks with you, Terry the Uwharrie Hot Dog Guy will be on site slinging dogs and BBQ as fast as he can. With the expected crowd, plan to see at least 1 or 2 other vendors there to help out so everyone gets fed when needed!
Plan to see multiple vendors and sponsors on site and please go by their booth and thank them for their support of the event. They would also be much appreciated if you bought something from them too!!!
To give you all an idea, if you've ever been to one of our races in the past at DPG, its been moderately busy. We've had just 5 port a jons at one time. For this event, we have reserved 10 of them with cleaning planned Friday evening!
We are setting it up to be a huge, HUGE event and something everyone flocks to every year! Who knows, we may even bring out some live music for the evening entertainment!
If you cannot make the event, NC4x4 will be providing live coverage online of Saturday's race. Visit www.NC4x4.com for more information on live coverage as the date gets closer.
For anyone still interested, Camping is allowed but it is primitive. Water and power is not available.
General Admission:
Racer 1: Free
Racer 2: Free
Race Team Crew (and family members): $10 for the weekend

Parking will be taken care of by the Tabernacle Vol Fire Dept (they are 2 miles up the road on Hwy 64). We are asking for a parking donation as all of those proceeds will go to the VFD for whatever they need. They volunteer their time for us, lets give back to them. We really want them to have great resources when we need them to save a life or our house! Please support them!
Remember, we are pushing hard to make this event huge. Tell your friends, family, neighbors, strangers, etc.
